Church Needs to Keep Pace With Times

Methodists from Appleton, Neenah, Menasha and Kaukauna mobilized their forces here yesterday for a far-reaching campaign of evangelism.

In his address on "What I consider the Layman's place in the Evangelistic Movement," Prof. L. G. Schussman of Kaukauna laid bare the chief failures of the present day church.

In closing his address, Prof. Schussman stated that we cannot fool the world into changing its way of life. "They know too well," he continued, "that Christ has not yet learned to shimmy his way or to one-step along the pathway of life in His ministry of doing good. We need not hope to charm souls for the Master by the time or tune of syncopated jass. Nor are souls set up as prizes for prowess in penny-ante or rummy. The old landmarks stand to guide us. We cannot serve God and Mammon. The family altar, the closest sanctuary and the song of consecration with its never ending melody of love in daily service for the Master are the three places of strength of the layman in the great work before us."
